The 1992 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 47th edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.[1][2]

Gary Havelock scored 14 points to become England's first Speedway World Champion[3] since Michael Lee in 1980. Sweden's Per Jonsson, the 1990 World Champion, finished second with 11 points with Denmark's Gert Handberg third on 10 points.[4][5]

Triple World Champion Hans Nielsen failed to qualify for a World Final for the first time since 1979 after only finishing 12th in the Nordic Final.[6]
